Remembering Our Dead

Chanda Sharmeeli

Chanda was shot dead when a group of men in a car threw rotten eggs at a group of transgender people standing in the street and then opened fire on them.

A friend told Al Jazeera that the men in the car were drunk and had tried to force the murdered person to sit in the car with them.
